Houston in person

About 300 students at Sam Houston Elementary School recently watched “The Lion of Texas: The Story of Sam Houston,” performed by Gainesville performer and author Sam Houston. Houston, who works as a mediator, said he’s long wanted to bring the story of his namesake to Texas schoolchildren. “Sam Houston has such an incredible story, and it seems to me that the students of today will better understand that story and the rich heritage they all share as Texans by not only reading history but by seeing and experiencing their history,” he said.
